The (commits not present) part indicates that even though git diff would have wanted to show you what happened in the submodule between 16c6a89 and ce12289 by displaying the first line of each commit message, it couldn't because these commit(s) are not present in the submodule repo. If you do a git log --oneline 16c6a89...ce12289 inside the submodule you'll get an unknown revision error for the same reason. The (commits not present) part should go away and the output of the short commit messages should appear when you do a git fetch inside the submodule (at least unless someone forgot to push these submodule commits upstream). As git fetch does attempt to fetch all referenced submodules too, I suspect that you have unpushed commits (e.g. they might have been dropped because of a rebase). In this case a git submodule update will fail for the same reason.
